[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]  Frankly, I do not give a rat's ass about the ranking.  [b]Does my kid have a good shot of getting stellar grades, great SAT and AP scores, learning the material, filling content gaps, having excellent EC activities at the end of 4 years[/b]?  Is he willing to work hard and not depend on MCPS to spoon feed him?  Am I willing to support him? Why would I care what the school rating of  any other MCPS school is?  Why do I care where Joe Shmoe goes?  My student is a rising 9th grader in PHS SMACS program - so should he take it easy because by being in PHS he will automagically succeed?

None of the  public and private schools in DMV is of the same caliber as Stuyvesant.  We should try and concentrate on what is important. [/quote]

And how would you assess a school if you want to know about these things? I get that rankings only tell so much but wouldn't one want to know which schools are at the bottom and why they have such low graduation rates for instance? You can't ignore it entirely if you're looking to find a place where your kids will excel.[/quote]
